Reminder of what the 'double'left arm (claw & eldritch blade) looks like (currently)

Andy Foster (Heresy Miniatures) @heresyminiatures.com · 11h

Wasn't time to take a pic earlier of the 'single' claw left arm and also the original right hand sword and pointing left arm. So this is them. Master casting buyers get all options

In his defence there was a 2 for 1 offer on that sword

Again, just liking it doesn't help me narrow down which sets are more popular. Leave a reply, please! Just the name of the horns will do (see alt text above) if you're shy.

These are the 5 horns sets so far (people who buy the Master Casting get all of these included) but no promises on slightly altering at least three of them. Which is your favourite? (see alt text) Have to narrow it down for the production version.

I took a LOT of photos earlier on and now I have to edit them all I guess? Someone should invent a computer system of some sort that could automate this process based on me telling it what I wanted it to do with some sort of suggestion box prompt.

I call these horns the 'Legend' Horns even though that's not strictly true, as they should be on the other way around and for some reason i ballsed that up. Maybe I might make a set the right way around but they really do look overbalanced and you feel bad for Tim Curry who had to sport them and suffered terrible neck problems. these days they do it with CGI you know.

These were the horns I originally intended to use but the convertor inside me (I think the millennials call it 'kitbashing' now, an old title given new lease of life, we just referred to it as converting in the GW of the 90s, mainly cos you didn't want to let on that there were other kits by other companies i suppose) wanted to try out different horns

This is the original horns but angled down for a more aggressive look. I feel i should bulk them up a bit. Probably won't.

Are these Huge Horns too over the top or not too over the top enough? I can decorate them, add boney 'knuckles', iron hoops, skullz'n'chainz™, engraved howling faces; choices are endless but time is not

HUh. Auto cucumber really reached right up there and rummaged around my colon there. I did not type 'oversized' I typed 'over the top'. Question stands, Too OTT or not Too Ott enough?

Are these too oversized the top of not too oversized the top enough? I can decorate them, add boney 'knuckles', iron hoops, skullz on chainz™, engraved howling faces the choices are endless but time is not

Sure am glad I own a light box instead of just sticking the model under my lamp in midair and getting a much better photo of bare resin

Masters and sub masters for the Fallen One. Might finally be able to get a decent photo now most of the model is the same colour... Always a thrill to open a new mould and see results even after all these years doing this

Desperately trying to get some orders packed by 12.30pm before I have to go home for a Very Important phone call assessing my wife for the DWP, which I may have to take the call and speak for her myself; phone call 'between 1pm and 5pm' so if it's early enough i can dash back to work again 🤞

pps you can sell the unwanted female heads that are making you sad, on ebay, to people who need more of them

Andy Foster (Heresy Miniatures) @heresyminiatures.com · 2d

PS Remember, you don't actually have to use them if it makes you have funny feelings, it won't affect your life if someone else does, either. It's toy fucking soldiers, mate. There's actual fascism to worry about instead now.

Also, if you wanted sexy petite girlie girl heads, no, they got the Sororitas for that; Space Marine Women should be like the England Rugby Team full backs: powerful looking

And let's remember GW make their own steel injection moulds etc and there's something like a 3 year delay in plastics before they hit the shelves, so those female heads were thought up a while ago and I just want to salute the knowing smiles they must have been making for the last few months at GWHQ

I'm loving GW putting female heads in the Space Marine heads set. I make it about 9 heads in there that are female, some semi masked. Thing about GW is, when they eventually realise that there's a healthy 3rd party market for something, they will always eventually move to make money off it.

I thought she had been but seems not. The mould has been very diffcult to get good castings from (eventually fixed with adding layers of duct tape to the outside to provide extra clamping pressure) Will get her out today x
